I ...

 

With a lot of fighting

In various parts of the world

Many achievements we have already had.

Right to vote,

Own documents,

Employment,

A little voice,

And so many others.

 

But capitalism

It's so cruel

That "delegates"

Be responsible

By tasks considered inferior

And so it also diminishes us.

 

But actually

These tasks are essential

They are the ones who maintain life.

I know this fight is daily

We cannot get off our feet

Never ...

 

Otherwise

What we already are…

Will be no longer.

 

WE DO NOT WANT

AS WOMEN

THE COMPETITION

 

But the macho, capitalist and patriarchal power

From which capital appropriated itself through men

Kill us a little every day.

 

If we compare to plants

It is to do a little daily

Never feel inferior.

Divide all work

Educate the new generation

And with a firm step, saying:

We want, we can, and we do!

And together we will build a different society.
